Today my husband and 2 oldest are bringing Das Boot along the ICW (Intra-coastal Waterway) to it’s new home in….another harbour. It is a long trip, and I totally regret my decision not to go. It would have been a beautiful sail. The dog….she must pee during the day, and I [...]

The ICW

Coffee

And they are very large snags.
A. It seems that with lots of rain, the main road that my husband must take part of to get to work, well, it gets a bit wet. Like in real wet. Like, buried in wet. Non-passable wet.
B. We have to move the boat [...]

We have hit some snags

Dude, I have such a cool story to tell.
It’s all about synchronicity.
We went flip flop shopping, and ended up in a remote surf shop here. After shopping, the kids were starving, so we decided to walk to the diner across the street.
There were pictures of children on a sail boat all over the walls [...]

Dude

Good morning

….because everyone knows Mia needs more shoes. (cough)

Adorableness…..

I am sorry. I know. No updates. Just a song post. What good am I?
The fact is, I am diving head first into life here, and just have not had much time to post.
I made some changes to the site, and will continue to tweek and mess with themes [...]

My heart

So many nights I just dream of the ocean…
God, I wish I was sailin’ again.
Oh, yesterday’s over my shoulder,
So I can’t look back for too long.
There’s just too much to see waiting in front of me,
And I know that I just can’t go wrong.

Nothing remains quite the same

Sailing was awesome today. The wind was just perfect. It wasn’t too hot. Animals of all kinds were out, and we had dolphin escort us home.
I took a ton of photos…….too many to post here, so head on over to Flickr if you would like to see the rest.
Surfing the [...]

Ocean blue

Hey guys. I have changed the URL to my site, and it is now: www.andbabymakes6.com
You can still have access to the blog via the old URL (www.jody2ms.com) because it is being automatically redirected, but if you could update your blogrolls with the new addy, that would be great. (Also updating your [...]

New URL

I have been on a mini-weekend with some friends……on another bay along the Texas coast.
I do believe that the sun, in all of its vain glory, puts on a show for us when it tucks itself in behind the bay.
What do you think?

Sunset on the bay

There is nowhere else I would rather be than right next to this guy

Dolphins

We took the boat out. We motored, as the winds were way, way to strong to hoist sails.
I will be posting some video later, if I can get it to upload…grrrr.
For now, a couple of shots…and of course, the rest are up at Flickr so click through one of the pics to [...]

It actually does something other than sit at the dock

To say my kids are sheltered is an understatement.
The town we are from is as Norman Rockwell as it can get. Not just in its picturesque setting, but the whole attitude and lifestyle. There is almost no crime, and on the rare occasion that you have to call the police, they are [...]

Sirens

Yah! The internet. It is back. And now I can post about the bug man, and the child hater next door to us.
The guy that fogs for mosquitos came to our little park today. He took us by surprise, and proceeded to drive by, spraying the mass amounts of bug fog [...]

She has a head like a pin

This is a blow and go post. Internet connection is down, and I have to haul the ‘puter down to the bayfront (poor me) to get a connection. It is hard with 4 kids to do that, so instead I am lazy and completing the withdrawls from 3 days without connection. I [...]

Yeah! More bullet points from the dark side!!!!!!

We are having a good time.
How good of a time you might ask?
Well, a good enough time to say that we might be, very likely, most certainly, maybe, (oh my God are we talking about this????) probably that we might live here……….in the trailer for now……………..Kathy, please, pinch me…………could this be the most selfish [...]
